Santa Ana Sweeps Season Series With SCC

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Santa Ana Women's Volleyball capped the week with a bounce back win over Santiago Canyon (1-19, 0-15) on Thursday night. 

The Dons (17-5, 10-5) swept the season series with the Hawks following the 3-0 (25-6, 25-17, 25-16) victory. 

Outside hitter Matilde Teixeira posted a game high 14 kills to go with eight aces, six assists and five digs on the night. The sophomore from Portugal now leads the Orange Empire Conference in aces at 64 and sits at second in kills with 319. 

Sophomore middle blocker Kassandra Zavala joined her in double digits with 12 kills and two aces. Alison Caswell and Andrea Sanchez also contributed as the sophomores combined for 15 kills and eight digs. Ines Lopes  added 15 digs and seven assists in the win.

It was a much needed win after SAC dropped a big matchup with No. 17 Orange Coast 3-1 (25-21, 21-25, 25-19, 25-23) a day earlier. 

The Dons will finish their regular season schedule on Tuesday as they host Riverside (7-16, 4-11) on Sophomore Night. Santa Ana will then await their seeding for the CCCAA SoCal Regionals.
